Transfer Window: EFL and clubs to discuss proposed changes in September

15 August 2017

With discussion surrounding the summer transfer window closing prior to the start of the season, the EFL have issued the following statement.

“The EFL Board and its clubs have previously expressed the opinion that closing the summer transfer window in advance of the season commencing would be an improvement on the current position.

“On this basis we will be tabling the matter for discussion with clubs in September. It will be important that all the consequences of such a decision are fully considered, as the requirements of our clubs are different to those in Europe’s top flight leagues.”
